letlive have joined the renowned Los Angeles punk rock label Epitaph to release their third studio album Fake History and vocalist Jason Aalon Butler enthused;

“When thinking of Epitaph Records I affix Bad Religion, Atmosphere, and the reawakening of the late great Refused to those thoughts (an impressively unorthodox composition in my eyes). Now I think of letlive. to be included amongst that lineage. Pipe dreams realized, ladies and gentlemen.”

The band has been building a reputation for themselves in the Los Angeles hardcore scene. With their eclectic arsenal of influences, letlive take heavy music to new heights with dynamic songwriting, blistering and precise rhythms, hook loaded metal riffs and Butler’s remarkable ability to balance cathartic screams and melodic vocals. Commenting on his band’s sound, Butler says they are “a punk rock band with a soul band’s modus operandi. Vice versa.”

Fake History exudes a youthful swagger and power. The album’s opener, Le Prologue, begins with tribal drums that give way to an outburst of thundering riffs and defiant vocals with front-man Butler exclaiming “There are no martyrs in resolution. If you remain still, don’t expect restitution. Stand up!”. The band’s most notable gift lies is in their songwriting with tracks like The Sick, Sick, 6.8 Billion, Renegade ’86, Casino Columbus and Muther, which strikes a pitch perfect balance of sonic aggression and unforgettable melodic choruses.

Epitaph’s release of Fake History will include three brand new tracks Hollywood, And She Did, Lemon Party and the Brett Gurewitz (president & founder of Epitaph, guitarist for Bad Religion) produced track This Mime [A Sex Symbol].
